I adore calico cats! I had one for 12 years. Her name was Callie. A beautiful girl. She died of lymphoma about 5 years ago.

Now I have two others. Boudreaux, also known as Buddy, who gets his name because my family's from Louisiana. (I know you are too, Minn. My folks come from the north part--Bienville Parish.) And I have a charming orange tabby named Orange Julius. I adore them. They get along great with the dogs, too.

My cats never sneeze blood. But if they did, I'd take them to the vet!!!
